THE J-LIFE ALL-NATURAL SHIKIBUTON: AN AUTHENTIC JAPANESE FUTON
Years ago, we decided to offer Americans a true Japanese style mattress; one constructed of quality materials, without foam or innersprings - pure and simple. So, we deconstructed Japanese shikibutons, worked with master shikifuton craftsmen in Japan, and developed the design of the J-Life Shikifuton. Now, over 20 years later, our futon is a trusted choice for those looking for a reliable, authentic Japanese style sleep experience.
All-Natural Materials
True to Japanese custom, our futon is made from pure cotton. The J-Life Shikifuton has no wool, foam or innersprings. The cover is 100% unbleached cotton duck. The fill is also made from 100% American-grown cotton batting for comfort and natural air-flow. In addition, this authentic Japanese futon meets US fire retardant standards by using a natural boron material.
J-Life Futons & Tatami Mats
Traditionally, a Japanese futon mattress is intended for use on a flat solid surface, such as a tatami mat, floor, or platform bed. While J-Life Shikifutons are sized to fit American bed frames, please note that they are not meant for American style futon frames.
Scroll through the product images to find the tatami and futon size guide, which shows the appropriate tatami mat size options for your shikifuton.
Futon Firmness
The J-Life Shikifuton is available in two thicknesses: a popular 4-inch option and a more traditional 3-inch. Firm sleep surfaces, like that of a Japanese style floor mattress, help to improve sleep posture, resulting in rewarding sleep and pain-free mornings.

The J-Life Shikibuton mattress can also be ordered with a custom removable cover. We also offer a Shikifuton Protective Cover for extra protection against dirt and moisture.

Ships within 24 hours (excluding weekends and holidays).
Please Note: Due to compression caused by the packing and shipping process, futons may be smaller than their actual size upon delivery. Please allow your shikifuton at least 1-2 weeks to expand to its actual size.
Made in the USA with American-grown cotton.

Fast ship good futon, there is a manufacture odor.
4.5 ⭐️ - My spine is definitely finding its happy place with the Jlife TwinXL shikifuton. I placed a 2-1/2” foam ‘bottomer’ (opposite of topper) under it as i weigh nearly 250# and that has helped also. On a simple plywood base set up on a typically-available 12”h metal frame, this is the bed I have always wanted, with the decision made easier when my spouse and I agreed that separate twin beds were our older-age sleep solution. She remains undecided about the ‘floor mattress’ due to her sensitivity to its initial (out-of-the-box) odor which does not bother me at all. I really like the idea of this all-cotton pallet rather than the fake-cotton (polyester) mattresses available in that big, mail-order marketplace. Thank you!
Way to expensive for what is essentially just an American sleeper sofa. At least its 100% cottom.
It is very comfortable. I have back pain and this is really great for my back!
I lovemy shikifuton from J-Life! It’s so hard to find a real Japanese futon and I am thrilled to have found J-Life.
